The Return Of the Invincible Heiress
Chapter 280

Chapter 280: Chapter 280

Loreen’s scream alarmed the entire Moran family.

The servants were busy, but Alexander and the others seemed to be uninvolved as they sat and watched the servants moving.

The butler called the police and the hospital. However, Adele died before the ambulance arrived.

Nicolas did not care about her. He immediately went to her private doctor for a checkup. The results showed that he had become impotent. Considering his age, this illness was likely incurable.

It was a huge blow to Nicolas. He kept roaring. He secretly sent his trusted aides to find a brilliant doctor. He even begged Alexander to invite Dr. Annie to treat him, but Dr. Annie said that there was nothing she could do after seeing his medical report.

Loreen was so frightened that her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly. She whispered, "Dad, don’t be angry. I don’t know anything. I won’t talk nonsense."

Of course, Nicolas would not give up. In front of Loreen, he warned Farrah sternly, "I’m very healthy. The old witch is just scaring me. If you dare to spread any rumors, I’ll divorce you immediately—and you guys won’t get a thing from me."

Although Farrah kept saying that she regretted marrying Nicolas and that her current life was miserable, she didn’t want to divorce Nicolas and give up her status as the richest wife in Valemont City. Hence, she gave in.

"I haven’t been married for a long time. How would I know if you can do it? If word gets out, I’d be the laughing stock. Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about your ignorant young lovers."

Nicolas glanced at them coldly. "You’d better keep your word."

Alexander and Avery were also questioned by the police.

Everything that had happened in the dining room, including the conversation, had been recorded on a micro-video recorder. Adele had been convicted of suicide for fear of punishment. Alexander burned everything that Adele had used when she was alive.

Her jewelry was given to charity. The room she had lived in became a storeroom.

Avery carefully searched the flowers and plants planted by Maggie and found a cell phone sealed in the depths of the rose bushes. It was verified that the phone was Maggie’s and could no longer be used. But that was no longer important now that the truth of Maggie’s death had been revealed, and the mastermind had been punished.

When they walked out of Moran’s Mansion, Avery asked Alexander, "How are you feeling now?"

Alexander was very calm. There was no joy or sadness. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Everyone gets what they want."

Avery nodded slightly and did not say anything else.

Alexander sent Avery to the car and opened the door for her. "I’m sorry, I’m going to see my sister, so I won’t send you back to Rosemont City."

Avery smiled. "Alright."

After a slight pause, she asked, "Can I put your mother’s case in the book? I’ll make some changes to the details, of course."

Alexander nodded. "Sure."

Avery hesitated for a few seconds before raising her hand and gently patting Alexander’s shoulder. "See you next time."

Alexander smiled. "See you next time."

Avery sat in the back seat of the car. Through the translucent window, she watched Alexander’s figure slowly disappear into the night. She assumed Alexander would need some time to fix his mood.

When Avery returned to her house in Rosemont City, it was not yet 9 p.m.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw that the main building was brightly lit. The sound of a television came from within. The lights in the house warmed her heart from such a long distance.

She hurried into the entryway. The scene she saw was so heartwarming.

Her mom sat on the sofa watching TV while receiving a massage from her dad. Brandon was reading a magazine in a rocking chair. Zayn was still wearing a sports vest and shorts. He had his elbows on the ground and was doing planks. Josie was sitting on his waist, eating snacks and watching television.

Of course, Josie sat there at Zayn’s request to increase the difficulty and effectiveness of his training.

Alaric spun a basketball with his fingertips as he walked down the stairs. When he saw Josie sitting on Zayn, he immediately ran over excitedly and squatted in front of Zayn. He said with anticipation, "Zayn, in order to make you stronger, I’ll sit on you too."

"If you want to sit on me, kill me with a stick first so I won’t be crushed," Zayn said.

Alaric stood up, walked to Arthur, and kicked him. "Hey, look at you. You’re playing games on the sofa all night. You need to see some light. Let’s go play basketball."

Arthur’s legs were crossed, and he rejected him without even looking up. "No."

Alaric rolled his eyes. Arthur raised his eyebrows and said murderously, "You can call me a noob, but you can’t say I’m lousy at games! Whoever dares to scold me for being lousy will be my lifelong enemy!"

After saying that, he pounced forward and started fighting with Alaric.

Maria was still sitting in the armchair closest to the television, eating snacks and watching TV. From her grandparents’ room, the sounds of their favorite show could be heard.

Alaric sat down beside Arthur. He snatched Arthur’s phone and said, "You’re so lousy. I’m sure you lose every time. Let me help you."

What a beautiful scene, Avery thought as she walked into the living room in satisfaction and greeted the entire family with a smile. "I’m back."

She often appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Her family was already used to her sudden disappearances and appearances. All of them looked at her and smiled happily.

"Avery, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook something for you?" said her mom.

"Avery, are you tired? Do you need a massage?" said her dad.

"No need, no need." Avery waved her hand. "I’ve eaten. And I had a car to pick me up. I’m not tired at all. Go ahead, guys."

She sat down on the side sofa and started enjoying the fruit while watching television with her family. She loved that feeling.

That night, Avery slept very well. When she woke up in the morning, she practiced yoga for an hour before sitting in front of the computer and working.

She worked until past one in the afternoon. Then she took out a few boxes of food that her mother had prepared in the morning from the fridge in the big kitchen. After heating them in the microwave, she enjoyed her lunch alone. After eating, she lay down on the sofa and closed her eyes to take a nap.

In a daze, her phone rang. She opened her eyes and answered the call.

Josie’s hysterical cries could be heard. "Avery, save me... I don’t want to stay in kindergarten anymore. I want to go home. Boohoo, they’re bullying me. I want to go home..."

Avery’s heart tightened. She suddenly sat up and quickly walked out.

"Josie, don’t be afraid. I’ll go and save you now. Tell me, what happened?"
